Greetings!
A
new study
just came out looking at patients hospitalized for COVID with some very reassuring data in terms of the impact of adequate supplementation.
An incredibly simple intervention with fairly astounding results.
"
Patients were administered oral vitamin D3 1000 IU OD, magnesium 150mg OD and vitamin B12 500mcg OD (DMB) upon admission if they did not require oxygen therapy....
...Significantly fewer DMB patients than controls required initiation of oxygen therapy subsequently throughout their hospitalization (17.6% vs 61.5%, P=0.006). DMB exposure was associated with odds ratios of 0.13 (95% CI: 0.03 − 0.59) and 0.15 (95% CI: 0.03 − 0.93) for oxygen therapy need and/or intensive care support... Conclusions: DMB combination in older COVID-19 patients was associated with a significant reduction in proportion of patients with clinical deterioration requiring oxygen support and/or intensive care support..."
In plain language - low level supplementation of vitamins D, B12 and magnesium led to a 44% drop in requirement for oxygen therapy, and over 85% drop in need for oxygenation or intensive care support.
The only thing I object to is characterizing patients over 50 as older :)
Almost everyone reading this should be on these nutrients as part of their basic regimen. If you have have concerns and want to look at your dosages, just reach out.
